The Jimmer is featured on Lil Wayne's newest mixtape

Back in November, Jimmer Fredette was nothing but a white boy with a filthy jumper, a flashy crossover, and a name that you remember even if you didn't know that he was a preseason all-american.

Fast forward eight months, and The Mormon Moneymaker is everywhere. He went from a college hoops cult icon to the nation's most explosive scorer, a must-see attraction that sold out arenas. He won an ESPY, his name became standard verbiage (You Got Jimmer'd!!!), and he even had a horse named after him.

But it wasn't until today that Jimmer officially hit the mainstream. You see, today Lil Wayne dropped his "Sorry 4 The Wait" mixtape. On the track Sure Thing, Weezy throws in a line about The Jimmer:

"I got a chopper in the trimmer, shootin' like Jimmer."

This?

This is the definition of irony.

Lil Wayne is describing his "chopper" -- which is a gun for those that aren't fluent in hip-hop -- by saying it shoots like Jimmer, a Mormon who spent the past four years living according to BYU's Honor Code, which won't allow him to have premarital sex or drink caffeine, much less "have a chopper in the trimmer".

Anyway, here's the song. The money quote is about :45 in. (Yeah, the lyrics in that song are very NSFW.)
